The probability of selecting a green chocolate candy is 0.36. The probability of selecting a green chocolate candy, given that the candy has coconut, is 0.22. Interpret the outcome of the conditional probability.

It is more likely to select a green chocolate candy if it has coconut because the empirical conditional probability of 0.22 is less than the empirical probability of 0.36.
It is less likely to select a green chocolate candy if it has coconut because the empirical conditional probability of 0.22 is less than the empirical probability of 0.36.
It is more likely to select a green chocolate candy if it has coconut because the empirical conditional probability of 0.36 is greater than the empirical probability of 0.22.
